I usually hatch my own chicks, but my son wanted a pure white (some sort of bantum?) and a pure black chick, and so I had to get these EEs at Central Tractor. What colors would you call them?
Did you hatch the Olmecs in an incubator or under a hen? I'm thinking about getting these (your hen is gorgeous!) but really don't have a reliable broody.
Interested in:
Ameraucana...any color variety welcome as long as eggs are true blue.
DARK Marans eggs, any variety although black copper tends to be the darkest.
Rare varieties of Leghorns (like buff or black)
BLRW
Isbars
buff, red, or partridge Silkies
South American breeds- any

I just inherited a beautiful buff Leghorn that was being given away due to diminished egg laying ability. She is 2 years old, how many eggs can I expect her to lay? I know someone that took in 6 hens for the same reason and they have ended up averaging 5 eggs a day from them! So I' m hoping I...
Here's some pics I wanted to share of some birds that I'd posted as chicks...
My head roo Boa he's the best all around - feeds the ladies, nonaggressive, etc
Butterfinger the roo chick in question with the orange down, runs with the layer flock, beautiful vivid colors!
Look closely there...
Wish List:
Any type of productive white egg layer, but I would love to have Black Leghorns!
Blue Laced Red Wyandotte (for my daughter)
Birchen Marans
(also if anyone has these plus blue eggs too- throw some in I always love the bluest of the blue eggers!)
(also as an afterthought we are down...
Here is a pic of chicks, I get mostly brown stripey, black, or blue, with an occasional white popping up. Here is what I have in the incubator now at various stages, which is way too many but I tell my husband what if we get another big raccoon attack - we need back ups! The real light colored...

Hi, What about Cream Lebgars to create crested EE? I am starting a Cream Legbar flock & the extra roos I am putting with my EE flock. Maybe I can make some cool looking crested chicks that lay blue eggs. Right now my EE flock is outlaying my Black Stars and I am getting a range of very pretty...
Where do I swap eggs at? I have EE eggs up for swap for Silkies. EE eggs include a very pretty blue color, and stock includes EEs, Araucanas, Ameraucanas, and Cream Legbars. Resultant chicks will lay blue or green eggs. I also have BCM eggs by Cream Legbar rooster for Olive Eggers, and Black...
Figures! I would have tried to hatch them too! My 12 year old daughter and I swooned over our first Legbar egg, calling it our first baby Legbar & talking to it, until we tried to incubate it and discovered it to not be fertile. None of our Legbar hen's first eggs are fertile so far. Eggs from...
I got the same thing. Meaning I got these same eggs off of Ebay and only had one hatch, the chick had the distinct coloring of a female exept that the down was quite red.Then as the chick grew it became evident that it was a male and he now looks just like your rooster, he just has more red and...
